LILIYA AVANESOVA vs. POMERADO HOSPITAL, ALPHA FUND
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board denied the applicant's petition for reconsideration. The Board adopted the Administrative Law Judge's report, which found the applicant not entitled to temporary disability benefits. This decision was based on the finding that the applicant voluntarily left her employment for personal reasons to attend school, not due to her work injury, and that she failed to demonstrate ongoing disability supported by medical evidence. The Board gave significant weight to the WCJ's credibility determination regarding the applicant's testimony.
